Dog Days

The sun shines each day. The afternoons are hot. It can be like this during the Swedish summer. When the sun shines there is no finer place on earth. Time enough this week (before midsommer) to enjoy long walks through the forest to the lake, sometimes looping around the back of the village and light factory. 4.5 miles a day. My host worries I will get thin, so feeds me extra ! Coffee shared in the morning, in the sun. The dogs are play fighting, mother and daughter. That the puppy loves Roland there can be no question. The older dog has a different relationship with him. If she is not taken on trips, she takes her revenge by chewing up his shoes.

Afternoon tea with cakes. My own habits are also part of the routine this four days of summer. Midsommer and the rain are coming, but for now life is soft indeed.

Could I live here?
